And?

They are a bigger club, more fans, more money etc. Because they've regressed since Ross left them doesn't stop that.

Style of play is boring, negative & laboured. No creativity and no fire power. To be outgunned by a team like Livingston at home is just criminal.

Already beat us at T.Macaroni & only lost 1-0 at Ibroke in the 75th minute...Just saying!

What's interesting is I actually like the look of the players he's brought in. Rocky if he keeps playing the way he is I'd be shocked if he's playing for us next year. We need to give him a chance

Rocky and Mitchell look improvements or good enough to play. Henderson doesn't look anywhere near it so far. Clarke will be very good also imo. The rest just have to wait and see.

You think Hibs are a bigger club than Sunderland?

Seriously?

This season is already a bogey for me - what chance have you got when you have Lewis still playing, Drey Wright, James Scott, Paul McGinn, Josh Campbell, and Jamie Murphy. Darren McGregor clicking heels on a big salary too. I'll throw in Hanlon too for good measure.

Bloated squad, filled with utter mediocrity and lack of pace and creativity, lack of presence,lack of leadership, and a complete lack of hunger to fight and win games.

I'm not blaming Maloney, I'm firmly blaming Ron Gordon for his lack of football knowledge and foresight, as well as the recruitment team - not one signing, not one, has given me an excitement or a real buzz - players can moan all they like about being booed and jeered - there is a very good reason - this team is absolutely honking, full stop. Not thanks to Shaun Maloney, but thanks to the previous managers (Ross, Heckingbottom) and a lacklustre and lazy recruitment team.

If it were me, we need a director of football, someone who has real knowledge of the game and Hibs - there's yet again a total disconnect with the team and fans, caused by poor recruitment at every level.


Ron Gordon - pony up mate or give up - you've turned a club that was on the up into one which is spiralling downwards again. This is akin to Alex Miller's side, devoid of character and life. Challenge for Europe you say.............this squad couldn't challenge a fish supper. Forget big screens, get some genuine pace and creativity in the side, the product on the pitch has been terrible for 3 seasons. Be ruthless, get rid of the deadwood and get rid of this innate sentimental approach to certain players - bin them at the end of the season and rebuild.

You have to wonder who has been handing out these extended contracts to some of the players, we need a clear out but some will know they won’t get better than this and they will just go through the motions, we defo need a new striker and playmaker midfielder but these are hard to come by in this window.

Why take off Doidge today, who played well and then 5 minutes later bring on Scott, who has offered nowt every time he’s played?

That was baffling for me. Fine take off Doidge if you want to change things but to bring on Scott 5 minutes later was just pointless, should’ve just left Doidge on.

its cause maloney doesnt inspire confidence, we needed a strong character, a proper leader, not another nice guy.

I’m sure Maloney can be a nast piece of business if wants to.

Best way to bounce back, not something normally associated with Hibs in my lifetime, but CHARACTER, PLAYING FOR THE JERSEY & WE ARE NOT THE 'POPPY THIEVES'!

Sports psychologists , dietricians , academies , and the rest . All just merde if you quite simply can't beat and always struggle against the mighty Livingston.

Have you looked at our past results against Livi, they ain’t pretty.

We still look like a Jack Ross team. Not all that unsurprising given only Henderson, Rocky& Mitchel have played that were signed by Maloney.

He may or may not be the right man but there’s a certain hypocrisy in those that made, and continue to make, the point that Ross deserved more time. Yet have afforded Maloney 6 games and not even 1 full transfer window before making their mind up.

well said

Really annoyed me....bring 2 wingers on but take our target man off....

A jack ross team wouldn’t let in 3 against Livi. I said at the time be careful what you wish for. Buckle in. Get behind him. Live the pain.

Jack Ross’ Hibs team threw in plenty of performances just as bad as we saw in that second half today.

[Nicho87]

We have none, I repeat no character in the team.

We lack a McGinn, Cummings, Riordan, Boyle now.

Someone who was a bit different.

I think porteous has tried to do that but I’d rather he just concentrated on being a centre half.

Like our play it’s all just a bit bland and boring currently

Apart from the Jack Ross team that lost 3-0 at home to Livi last season you mean?

Add Bartley and McGregor too.

Biggest error Heckingbottom made was to get get rid of Marv.

Funny you say that, take Ange at celtc, looked a bombscare when he came in and was being slated by all the so called managers that watch football, he stuck to his guns and his style of play and he turned things around and now has his team playing some decent football, should Maloney dump his style of play already and just start lumping the ball up Doidge, all the pro licence coaches on here who know better know nothing about coaching a football team, give the manager time, we have lost our best player in the January window who wanted away, a defender who picks up red cards like they are going out of fashion which means he misses out on games and disrupts the team and came in today and was f***ing woeful, keep saying it but things won’t happen overnight it will take time but the knifes have been sharpened and they are out now to stab Maloney, f***ing joke.

Agree with all of that.

Too much sentiment at the club and not enough zeal to succeed SH - fans fall into that 'romance' - but top sport and success is lethal and has to be cut-throat.

I was questioned by a poster about a player's injury - I know for a fact (and you will better than me) that the likes of Derek and Garry played whilst carrying knocks and niggles - they were true competitors - I'm not convinced we've rid ourselves of players who just don't fancy it. I think we have 4 or 5 in the squad who play on injuries.

If things don’t improve he’ll get nowhere near as long as you’re suggesting, if we lose on Tuesday the knives will be out big time. I think he deserves to get until the end of this season at least, but if there’s not a dramatic improvement fans will turn on him in the same way they turned on Ross. We let our best player leave and all I read was how good a deal it was for us, it wasn’t as we’ve not won a game in 90 minutes and haven’t looked like doing so since he left.

The knifes were being sharpened after the Well game, they are well and truly sharpened and stabbing Maloney in the back tonight, take Boyle out of Jack Ross team and we would be battling down at the bottom, big mistake to let him go this window but that wasn’t down to Maloney, SM wanted to keep him at Hibs, think that was why SM was so pissed of with JR.

We need to give him time, Ron is not going to sack him/get rid of him, it’s only the joiners plumbers accountants etc etc that know better who are basically calling for his head already, f***ing madness so it is, it was quite clear before he had even got his 1st game as a manager under his belt that folk were getting stuck in to him with the snidey comments and didn’t rate him, “bring back Ross was the cry” deary f***ing me.

Why does he need time, why can't he hit the ground running? Why can't he play a style that suits our current players?

Lose the next 2 he can go imo.

He did hit the ground running, but folk like you were never going to give him a chance, he won’t be going anywhere so get behind him and stop your moaning Pep.

For the same reasons that got Ross the sack. We were a one man team and had no midfield. That is still the case but we’ve lost the player that papered over the many cracks we see now.

JDH - a nothing player IMO
Campbell - lower league level
Drey Wright - anyone who Tommy Wright thinks is the best he's seen is a worry
James Scott - you are simply trolling if you think he is a good player
Jamie Murphy - my iceberg lettuce is more resilient than that lad's hamstrings
Gogic - there's a reason he was at relegated Hamilton
Nathan Wood - panic signing
Stephen and Paul McGinn - never, ever good enough for Hibs

And we still rely on Lewis, Hanlon and McGregor.............

How much salary is that ? The recruitment team at Hibs are awful - plain and simple.

Can’t argue with any of that.
